Certainly better than the 2011. Lower alcohol for a CA red. Medium tannins. Not very complex kinda meh on the Livermore Cabs — 10 years ago

Slightly sweet, full flavoured, berry notes, velvety smooth. Goes very well with red meats or even a berry themed dessert. Excellent value for the money. — 10 years ago

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 11 years ago

So me and Gary A... My Xavier brother from over 25 years back, in Coral Gables. Pizza and Tignanello... This 09' is young... So dry on the open, your cheeks get turned inside out... Fruit later on... My humble opinion, as good as the 96' not even close to 08' though... Still perfect way to start the weekend... — 11 years ago

A monster wine. Even better, enjoying it with two good friends at Marea — 11 years ago

Perfectly balanced, well integrated, and pairs best with good conversation. Even for an Italian, this Tempranillo gives any Nebbiolo a run for its money. — 10 years ago

Lovely sweet black fruits. Tannins not fully integrated yet, so no rush. A very fine, even great, Cali Cab. — 11 years ago
